Dayton went 2-2, beating McQueen (4-1) and Truckee (2-0), and losing 4-3 to North Valleys and 3-2 to Carson.

“The first two games were good but as the day got hotter, it was tough for everyone to play on the hot turf field,” coach Luis Melgarijo said.

“I’m satisfied with our performance and now we know our weak areas and what to work on to get better.”

Victor Gomez scored six goals on the day, and Riley Fetters and Jacob Duran scored two each. Marco Torres added a goal.

“Our center defenders Marco Torres and Peter Miklich played a big role in these games and everyone else also stepped up when needed,” Melgarijo said.
